Same here. Or you can use small paper binding clips instead of the clothes pin to hold the rubber band. For Steelies and bigger eyes out of Wheatley, I just use the shower curtain ring and the rubber band. No need for anything else.

One tip with riggers, add a 12-18" steel leader to the back of your cannon-ball and attach your release to that. This allows you to see if there is a junk fish on the line, as you can see the rod tip move. It is pretty sweet when you see the rod tip bounce right before the release & then the drag starts singing from a steelie taking line. Love it....
